Kurt Cobain biopic features REM, Iggy Pop

The soundtrack to the film ‘Kurt Cobain: About A Son’ will feature tracks from R.E.M, Iggy Pop and David Bowie as well as several other bands that reportedly influenced the Nirvana frontman.

The soundtrack, due out in the US on September 11 via Barsuk, will also include a new song by Death Cab For Cutie frontman Ben Gibbard, who also composed an original score for the film along with producer Steve Fisk.

Although the soundtrack will not feature any songs from Nirvana, it will feature excerpts of audio-taped interviews with Cobain.

The film, due out in late 2007, features several rare interviews with the singer, as well as footage of sites in the Pacific Northwest that played a major role in his life.
